  • The feather or feather step is a dance figure in the International Style foxtrot. Depending on a syllabus, it consists of three or four steps (man stepping basically forward), with the third step (right foot) done outside the lady (lady on the right side) with a slight turn in the body position to the right. The step was first introduced in 1920 by . The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) syllabus considers the fourth step that aligns the man with the lady into a normal dance position to be part of the feather step variation, while the International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA) syllabus does not. The pattern and especially its distinctive part (steps 2 and 3) gave rise to several variations: * Curved feather * Overturned feather * Back feather * Hover feather * Endings of more complex variations: * Feather finish (the first step is taken back; called continuity finish in American Style) * Feather ending (the first step is taken in promenade position) (en)
